I LOVE YOU MAN! ....
I have been searching EVERYWHERE on how to get my analog mixer into my Samsung Note 10 plus. EVERYTHING I have tried beforehand has failed. Ive even tried the Samsung OTG dongle trick. Didn't work. I know your video was about mixer➡️ 2i2 ➡️ computer, But I tried it anyway.
This is the only thing that has worked! I just tried it with Samsung voice memo... works perfectly! Facebook live... works perfectly! Samsung stock video app...works perfectly! Haven't tried YouTube YET, but I'm sure it will be the same.
I just used it for recording voice-overs for 6 radio station liners.
Luckily, I bought too many balanced cables on amazon for my electronic drum kit, so I just put them to good use! You're definitely my hero today. Thanks again!❤

Thanks! Incredible help especially for a beginner to the hookup stuff. Old salt as VO Talent.

Simple, straightforward, and exactly what I needed. Thank you :)

[alexandreharvey]

You are the best! You have helped me so many times with this content! Thank you!!

Thank you for this video, I've screamed this for years. Just to save killing your interface and cables pluging and unplugging

Hi! May I ask, with your setup like that, can I also connect two speaker to the mixer so I can hear my recording and record live? Thank you!

[TomVernonUAP]

I started with a scarlet solo and have ended up with that same Yamaha mixer straight into the pc. Saves you money and hassle in the long run.

thanks again for super clear tutorials

You do an excellent job conveying this information. Thank you!

My setup is super weird but really kinda unavoidable with how picky I am. I wanted absolute control without having to use software. With two computers, one Xbox Series X and a Nintendo Switch, it was kinda tricky to achieve sending all the sound to the same place.
My solution was buying a MG10XU. It worked flawlessly by its self until I decided I wanted to get away from usb mics. I have all of my devices plugged into my mixer or my monitors since some doesn’t have headphone ports. As long as the sound can go through hdmi it’ll go straight from my monitor to my mixer. So when I decided it was time to upgrade from my blue yeti to a XLR mic I realized that my whole mix would also get fed into my party chat along with my voice (for live streaming this works). So to separate both sources and still keep the level of control I desired, I decided to buy a 2i2 because it has line out and 48v phantom power (which I needed). So now my Shure SM7B runs through my 2i2 to my cl1 amp and rolls mute switch and the audio gets fed into my gaming computer for my voice chat and in game comms. That audio also gets fed out through the line out to channel 1 on my mixer which then feeds into my streaming computer. This way while streaming I can turn down or up anything without needing to adjust anything through software or affecting my party audio. Also for anyone in a similar situation you can split your audio by plugging in your mixer to your computer and monitor. Send whatever you want to split to the opposite device. So my game sound goes through my monitor which gives it its own knob and my party audio goes through my computer which also has its own knob on my mixer.

thank you for sharing your video for sharing your knowledge ❤

Very nice videos! Q: I’m trying to use this same mixer for performing on zoom plugging in 2 mics, guitar, bass + a drum track.... any advantage using my Scarlett here? Or should the usb output to my laptop be ideal?

[johnsech]

Very clear and concise - great thank you

[ufky]

My mixer has only xlr type outputs no line outputs like you use ( soundcraft soundpad 12 fx) then will i ll use xlr cables to connect to audio interface or do i need converter adapters ( from xlr female to line male jack) thanx

[kkrotobeatz]

how to connect that mixer to a synth and then to an interface?

[papayamusicofficial]

Wow! This really helped me with my issues! I have a Mackie 16-channel soundboard and I’m trying to plug it in to my scarlet 2i2 interface. This helped clear out the basis. I’m also settled with the Logic Pro to record using both. Thanks again! Does anyone know what are the best XLR TRS balanced cables in the market? Some of them are very expensive and I’m trying to get a hold of the gold ones.

Ps. Thanks once again! I just subscribed. 🙌🏼👍🏼💯

Hey Jordan, very simply explained.. loved it...I have a scarlet Solo and a mixer that doesn't have a USB output, can I use this combination for two Microphone inputs and two headphone outputs?

[TheOne-dcbo]

Great very informative video thank you 👍

[amir_djamir]

Nice, i have one question, so headphone connecting to audio interface or connecting to audio mixer ????

[ruelluis]

4:00 If I will be using the Aux send to have my own custom mix, how will I connect it to the audio interface ? Thank you very much for the informative video
